Overall Performance

Achievable Classes

The Pontiac GTO '65 has a stock top speed of 216 kmh (134 mph) which is high for Class E and even average for Class D. It's acceleration is also very good but it has a very weak nitrous output. Its handling though is very poor and suffers from understeer where the driver then would have to use the brakes more often when taking corners.

The GTO' 65 can perform well in Pursuits and Team Escape events. Although its poor handling hinders its ability to dodge rhinos, it's one of the very few cars that can take an impact with them head-on.

D-Spec Controversy

When the Pontiac GTO '65 "D-Spec" model was featured in the third volume album of Need for Speed: World's Facebook page, the D-Spec was labeled as a released car. Former Need for Speed: World Community Manager Drew Hahn later stated that the car was released for Top-Up between January 28th, 2012 to January 31st. However, the cars available for Top-Up during that time were the Chrysler HEMI 300C SRT-8 "Red Juggernaut" and the Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake, not the Pontiac GTO "D-Spec".

The D-Spec was, however, released as an on sale car during Need For Speed World's third anniversary sale.

The D-Spec, alongside all other Best in Class edition cars, were made available permanently on January 27, 2015.
